(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

In Downs process, the reaction that takes place is given as,

    2Na+(aq) + 2e- 2Na(s) 2Cl-(aq) Cl2(g) + 2e-

In the problem statement it is given as the Downs cell operates 1.0×104A for 24 hours.

The number of moles of electrons that is required can be calculated as shown below,

    24hr×(1×104A)×3600s1hr×1C1A·1s×1mole-96485C = 8640096485×104mole- = 0.8954×104mole- = 8.9×103mole-

From the mol of electrons that is required, the amount of sodium that is obtained can be calculated as shown below,

    8.9×103mole-×2molNa2mole-×22.9898gNa1molNa = 4099.218442×103gNa = 204.60922×103gNa = 2.04×105gNa

Therefore, the amount of sodium obtained is 2.04×105gNa.

Explanation of Solution

In Downs process, the reaction that takes place is given as,

    2Na+(aq) + 2e- 2Na(s) 2Cl-(aq) Cl2(g) + 2e-

In the problem statement it is given as the Downs cell operates at 1.0×104A for 24 hours at 20°C and 15atm.

The number of moles of electrons that is required can be calculated as shown below,

    24hr×(1×104A)×3600s1hr×1C1A·1s×1mole-96485C = 8640096485×104mole- = 0.8954×104mole- = 8.9×103mole-

From the mol of electrons that is required, the mol of chlorine that is obtained can be calculated as shown below,

    8.9×103mole-×1molCl22mole- = 8.92×103mol Cl2 = 4.45×103mol Cl2

Temperature and pressure is given as 20°C and 15atm respectively.  Considering this, the volume of chlorine gas can be calculated using the ideal gas equation as shown below,

    PV = nRTV = nRTP = 4.45×103mol Cl2×0.08206Latmmol-1K-1×293.15K15atm = 107.04815×103LCl2 = 7.136×103LCl2

Therefore, the volume of chlorine obtained in liters is calculated as 7.136×103LCl2.
